I have to fit a new door lock this afternoon and wondered if there are any hidden fixings or anything else to delay me when I need to take the drivers doorcard off?

It's a previous, previous shape 2002 model.

A Mk5? Pretty easy, hardest bit is getting the clip off the window winder if its got keep fit windows, other than that, screw inside the door handle plastic shroud, screws round the edge of the card, a couple underneath the pull handle if i remember right, then it should unclip with a good tug towards you!

I found a modified wire coat hanger best for this!

3 screws, clip behind window wiper (I found using a thin flat head screwdriver did it best) 1 screw to remove the mirror adjuster, then pull to unclip it, then push it upwards to remove from the window gap (takes a bit of 'persuasion')

Or the way I used to do it was use an old t-shirt, fold it and then run it through the gap, the clip would snag on the material and pull it off

Genious! that sounds far easier
